"Using the thinnest frets that you can get away with" is a
basic premise for fretting, but there are many lutes where the
neck has set (but hopefully not twisted)
where heavy frets are called for. My baroque lute represents
just such an instance where everything is fine except that

frets. In line with that, I would also advise noting what the neck

Nylon can be made to work, but it even more of a pain in the proverbial

David Ledbetter in his book on French lute and harpsichord music seems

harpsichord, so presumably his keyboard peers valued his works as well.

This seems like sound advice, Alexander. However, in general, I would
advise against nylon as a fret material. It is rather hard, and may last
forever if you can get its inherent stretchiness to the point it does not

The only way to get them tight down to the fingerboard - tie them hot.
Sometimes right out of boiling water might work. Tie them above the needed spot
(in the narrower part of the neck) and then move them to the place (carefully,
not to damage the fingerboard edges). Your knot should include the
